Yes it is.
Do I need to highlight the rhyme schemes, which are rock solid considering how short the bars are?
I never said it didn't have great rhymes. I said it's not that great (overall). It's just... Eminem could've done way better back then and it's probably why it isn't longer. And when he repeats things like "pick 'em up, i said pick 'em up, stick 'em up" it's just really lazy imo.
It's not lazy at all...it's conversational. Just like parts of Kim. Changing it up for effect.
Listening to Eminem delivering this on the radio, he was clearly passionate about what he was rapping, too. It seemed like he was inspired by seeing other people working at the post office and relating to them because of all the shitty jobs he'd done over the years. He could have made this into the perfect working class anthem.
